re: OT Lawyers -- quick question about practicing

Do you think it's easier for someone just out to make money on the plaintiff or defense side quickly? I'm talking getting above maybe 75-80k

First, I don't care what he does. Not that I don't want him to do well, just that I'm not truly trying to convince him to avoid plaintiff's work. It's a job. Pursue it diligently and fairly and I don't care what someone does.

Second, depends on where you are as to getting jobs in the defense side. If you went to a decent law school, did decently well and live in a fairly populated area, it's probably 50-50 shot at each side. Obviously if you struggled in law school or live in a more rural area, you're going to end up doing plaintiff's work, most likely.

I did some p side employment work while trying to build up some L&E chops at a boutique for about a year. I hated it, but other people might love it.
